It really doesn't say much about your knowledge

Hey, there's not need to condescend, sir. We can cite curial documents all that we want to support conclusions, since the Vatican's treatment of the SSPX has been ANYTHING but consistant. And why did you feel the need to involve sitetest and BlackElk in our one-on-one discussion?

*Because they are my hereoes and I did not want to deprive them of an opportunity to share their intelligence, insight and wit.

Nothing whatsoever in the post-Ecclesia Dei history of the papacy has suggested that either John Paul the Great or Benedict XVI has either lifted, modified, revoked or altered any, even the slightest, provision of Ecclesia Dei, much less the declaration of schism and the excommunications. It is still fully in force and will be until further papal action.

SSPX, excommunicated schismatics as its adherents and leaders are, have no place in the Roman Catholic Church given their schismatic pretenses. In place of legitimacy, like the old soviets, they are masters of agitprop and disinformation. Fortunately, as with the old soviets, you can easily determine when they are lying. Their lips move.

There are, undoubtedly, actual Catholics who are seduced into imagining that the SSPXers are being treated "uncharitably" when charity or love requires NOT that we tell the excommunicated schismatics what they WANT to hear but rather what they NEED to hear. Despite their sulfur and brimstone, full speed ahead!
